We have another Richard brick.
There’s a nice little park in Frankfort, KY called Cove Spring Park. Way off in the back corner, tucked into the trees, is a beautiful memorial garden sponsored by The Compassionate Friends of Frankfort, KY. At the center of the garden is a raised round flower bed, with a statue in the middle. Paver brick surrounds the flower bed.
Many of those bricks have names. And dates. One has Richard’s name and his time on earth.
Sunday they held a brick laying ceremony and a balloon release. There are now more than 100 memorial bricks in that garden. The number of tears those bricks represent is uncountable.
After the balloons disappeared from view we enjoyed a potluck style picnic.
It was nice spending time, enjoying life, laughing and eating with others in TCF. People from all walks of life and different stages in the grief journey, that have become brothers and sisters because of a bond we never wanted to share.
